Σύνοψη	Field-based Straussian grounded theory applies the systematic coding procedures of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory tradition to data generated through sustained fieldwork — direct observation, ethnographic notes, informal conversations, and artefact collection — rather than relying solely on formal interviews. The goal is to generate a substantive theory that is firmly anchored in the natural social setting where the phenomenon occurs, capturing both interaction and context.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
